Ostravar 12

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and bright, luminous depth. The head forms with good initial density and displays stable, fine-grained lacing that clings to the glass walls. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, reflecting the careful conditioning from cool lager cellars.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced noble hop character—floral and herbal notes from the triple-hopping regimen—complemented by a subtle resinous edge from the newer hop varieties. Beneath sits a clean, soft malt foundation with gentle grain sweetness. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, without aggressive alcohol or yeast warmth.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and malty, with a rounded cereal sweetness from the extra barley malt building substance on the mid-palate. Bitterness arrives with presence and articulation, driven by the hop varieties, and persists with a dry, slightly peppery quality. The finish is clean and mineral-driven, with no rough edges or astringency.

◑ Finish

The bitter note lingers pleasantly and persistently, fading into a crisp, dry mineral aftertaste. No cloying sweetness or palate fatigue—instead, a clean, refreshing departure.
